Sandusky jury back deliberating sex abuse case

June 22, 2012

Jurors in Jerry Sandusky’s child sex abuse trial have gone back behind closed doors for deliberations after rehearing testimony from two witnesses.

The jurors took copious notes Friday morning as they listened again to testimony by former Penn State graduate assistant Mike McQueary and a family friend of McQueary’s.
The jury is in its second day of deliberations in the case that touched off a scandal at Penn State that led to the firing of beloved coach Joe Paterno.

Sandusky paid close attention as attorneys read transcripts of the testimony. His wife, Dottie, sat behind him chewing gum.

Sandusky, a former Penn State assistant football coach, is accused of sexual abuse of 10 boys over a 15-year period. He denies the allegations.
